Hey guys, kind of a bit worried here... well I ordered some seeds from an unnamed source who promised that they would arrive stealthfully and quickly. I have ordered some in the past... only a small bit nothing large. It is Priority Mail Express International. I live in North Carolina, so not too far away. currently it says that my package is in ISC New york from the USPS. I have researched and read that this is customs... not sure when to expect my package.

Sounds like it passed. I had beans go thru NY before and about 3-4 days after the were processed I got them. Don't be worried unless they have sat at customs for quite awhile without being processed.

you are good. every thing sits there for at least 7 days. this is 100 % normal . we have all been through this in the past. there are resent post on here about it as well . so step back smoke a cig or joint and relax. nothing will happen . (DONT STRESS IT ) im 100 % sure this is normal. worst case you will not get your beans. and not get a letter or get a letter saying you were shipping improper items. there not going to come to your house and try to get you . unless your a big boy with 100 plants ore more grown out side. because they will lose money busting people like you . what will they get a few lights and mabe a few hundred bucks.

Took me a week or two sometimes to get mail once its in NYC

other times took 1-2 days

Its Christmas time which = lots of stuff getting lost

USPS is HORRIBLE during christmas time
I usually end up getting free stuff a lot because most of the places I order from ship USPS and I dont get them the date they are stated to arrive so I ask the companies for a refund and a few days to weeks later I get the product and still keep the money!

anyway if anything call from a private number or payphone and ask them to look for it

I called today, gave the lady at USPS International whom i spoke to my tracking number (which is priority express international), and she said that the item was in customs and that there is no time-frame given of when the item will be cleared from there. She didn't mention anything about confiscation. So maybe I will wait a few days and keep you guys updated.

As to what was ordered, I ordered from a friend who's supplier ship beans out of Guangzhou, China (weird, I know, but I trust this friend who promised to give me my money from him personally if the beans are not good quality).

....Oh and if your plant ends up like this, you'll know why

Dude your doing to much for a bean order. Stop doing all the calling around and emailing you will raise eye brows. Also why would you order beans from china of all places. Never would I

Regarding them from China; it's not a company and I've received them in the past. It's an individual who currently lives in China that I have known previously, but I guess he moved overseas. It's legit beans, I'm not to worried about where its coming from. I've never had anything held by Customs. Some people say it's coming, others say it is held. Don't know the timeframe in which it usually takes.

I'm just wondering if you guys think it will show up untouched or not. Kind of a bit worried as it never takes this long.

Sometimes customs is just slow , it's not strange for packages to be stuck in customs for 2-3 weeks at the best of times

Like others have said durring holidays they are slower ,Thanksgiving - X-mas they are always slower.

Just relax
